• John 15:5 Deep Dive // What Does it Mean to Be IN Jesus?

  "Even though the Holy Spirit is in us...we can grieve him. We can ignore him. We can go our own way. We can be in sin. We can not listen to the one who is guiding us. We can not choose to follow him." — Natalie AbbottToday's episode:  Today Natalie Abbott is talking very practically about what it means to remain in Jesus and for him to remain in us. She answers how it is that Jesus is in us—whether his presence in us is experiential, emotional, symbolic or something more.

Finally, she encourages believers to share the abundant life we receive from Jesus with our friends. This month's memory verse: “I am the vine; you are the branches.

• Gospel Grounded Compassion // Daniel Wendt

  "Shame is an identity statement. It's saying not that I did something bad, but I am bad...And for the believer, that identity claim of shame does not stick. It's not true. By believing Jesus was who he said he was and did what he said he did, that means your identity is a child of God. Full stop." — Daniel WendtToday's Episode: Natalie is chatting about compassion with her good friend and christian counselor Daniel Wendt. Daniel shares his own story of grappling with God's goodness and compassion through a life-altering season in his early adulthood. He helps us see how God the compassion and forgiveness of God are available to all of us even (and especially) when we mess up and get caught in a cycle of shame. Finally, he unpacks the difference between offering compassion and forgiveness to those who hurt us and fully reconciling with them. It's a super helpful episode, one you won't want to miss!   This month's memory verse: "Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." — Lamentations 3:22-23Today's guest: Daniel Wendt is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Harrisburg Pennsylvania, helping individuals, couples, and families through his private practice.
